Harper is one of our best tacklers, but one of our worst cover guys.
That's why he plays strong safety, and not free safety.
Harper does his thing EVERY week and takes flack because he can't stay with a good TE or a back out of the backfield.
It's just not his strength. He doesn't have much of a trun-and-go, or a good 0-60, but he brings the wood, EVERY week.
We, and GW, just have to find a way to cover his weaknesses. The same way we cover all the other weaknesses.
Harper should be probowl, AGAIN! We have no substitute for his contributions to our success.
